Fascicules

fas ci cle n. Abbr. fasc. … 2. One of the parts of a book published in separate sections. Also called fascicule.

Examples:
A dictionary published in parts and not necessarily in sequence
An encyclopedia published in parts

Another indication that the piece in hand is a fascicle is that the page numbering continues pagination from previous volumes.

ITEMs are not created for fascicules at the time of receipt. ITEMs will be created for each group of fascicules when they are bound as a volume.
Fascicules are not barcoded at time of receipt.
MHLDs reflect the bound/unbound status of the fascicules. Since branches are responsible for binding, we are only responsible for adding unbound fascicules to the record.

Books are routed to B&F for property stamps/targets only. The call # should be written in pencil in the upper left hand corner of the front cover. The shelving location should be written in the upper right hand corner of the front cover. Put a "fascicle" flag in the piece.

Find the order for the title and verify that order type is STANDING (or SUBSCRIPT). If it is FIRM, give to the appropriate ordering staff to 'correct' the order type before proceeding.
Receive fascicule on an order transaction line. Create one if necessary by using the RECEIVE ORDER wizard Do not create an ITEM for the fascicule at this time. Do not barcode material. If received correctly up to this point, it should be impossible to find the ID field to input a barcode.
EDIT the MHLD. Do not create or edit the 505 field. Follow established syntax when possible.
